fix: check the format of the event name (#125)

A packet like '2[{"toString":"foo"}]' was decoded as:

{
  type: EVENT,
  data: [ { "toString": "foo" } ]
}

Which would then throw an error when passed to the EventEmitter class:

> TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value
>    at Socket.emit (node:events:507:25)
>    at .../node_modules/socket.io/lib/socket.js:531:14
